"I Love You with All My Brain"

Mr. TBS and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but the holiday is more fun when you celebrate with your friends and family, anyway. Growing up, my parents would sometimes give us small Valentine's Day gifts. Amidst all the candy, stuffed animals, flowers, and cards from boyfriends over the years, my parents reminded me that the love in a family is worth celebrating too.

When I think of family, I think of my biological family and my chosen family, which are not mutually exclusive. I have grown with and learned from my family, husband, and best friends. Somewhere in there, blog friends seemed to have infiltrated that "chosen family" too. (You sneaky bloggers!)

To each of my "families," thank you for making my life brighter, warmer, and just plain fun! Happy Valentine's Day! I love you guys!

I agree...it really is more fun when you spend it with (whoever it is) that you love. I used to be a huge downer on VDday thinking, love should be celebrated every day!! And while it should be, it's so much more fun to actually be excited about something over being down on it!

In a Nutshell

Middle child. Working girl-mom of one. Married to my work crush that I swore I'd never date. My spirit animal is a mix of Sara Bareilles, Joanna Gaines, and a cat. A Ravenclaw married to a Gryffindor. Taking forever to finish my MBA, because #Parenting #Adulting #EducationReimbursement. I can go from feeling like a champ to a failure in parenting in three seconds flat, so basically, I'm nailing this first-time mom thing.
